With the engine running, press this
button; its indicator lamp comes on.
Pressing the button again switches off
the system; its indicator lamp goes off.
The system is automatically deactivated every
time the engine is switched off. The system is active if the ambient temperature
is below 0°C.
In cold weather, this system heats the bottom of
the windscreen, as well as the areas alongside
the windscreen pillars.
Without changing the settings for the air
conditioning system, it allows faster release
of the windscreen wiper blades when they
are frozen to the windscreen and avoids
the accumulation of snow resulting from the
operation of the windscreen wipers.

Windscreen wash
Wiper control stalk
F Pull the wiper control stalk towards you.
The windscreen wash and then the wiper will
operate for a fixed period.
The windscreen wash includes a wiper
blade system with integral washer jets.
The screenwash fluid is sprayed from
along the length of the wiper blade.
This improves visibility and reduces the
consumption of screenwash fluid.
In some cases, depending on the
composition or the colour of the liquid and
the outside lighting, the liquid spray may
be hardly perceptible. To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do
not operate the windscreen washer if the
windscreen washer reservoir is empty.
Only operate the windscreen washer if
there is no risk of the fluid freezing on the
windscreen and hindering visibility. Always
use windscreen washer fluid suitable for
low temperatures during the winter period.
